"The Environmental Film Festival is the Cannes or

Toronto for the green crowd." Roll Call

Since its founding twenty-two years ago, the Environmental Film Festival has become the largest and longest-running showcase for environmental films in the United States. Collaborating with over 115 organizational partners including embassies, museums and universities, the Festival is one of the leading annual cultural events in Washington, D.C. The Festival’s reach extends through growing print, radio, television and, increasingly, social media reportage around the world. 2013 coverage included The New York Times, The Washington Post, UNIVISION, The Huffington Post, and Roll Call.

Allen Hamilton is proud to be a sponsor of the Festival since 2009.” Gary Rahl, Senior Vice President, Booz Allen Hamilton

Sponsoring the Environmental Film Festival provides excellent branding opportunities, a large and engaged audience, and the chance to be part of one of the country’s premiere environmental events. Sponsorship levels range from $2,500 to the $100,000 Lead Sponsor and may include festival-wide exposure and benefits, the underwriting of specific events, or activities geared to company employees. The Environmental Film Festival works to ensure that every partnership is designed to maximize the benefit to the sponsor. Higher levels of sponsorship provide customized packages that are tailored to provide partners with the right message for their target audience, whether consumers, employees and/or policy influencers.
